Thanks for the replies.

When I say i've driven it up and down the road I don't mean at 40mph or anything, it was a crawl and it was a private road.  I'll have a go at slamming the brakes on when I get home.

As for the kwik fit soloution,  I may as well wreck the wheel and god knows what else myself and cutout the middle man.

Yes, slow speed with 'loose nuts'

Yep usually works or batter it with a stout lump of wood whilst turning the wheel!!

as its the spare(steel) thats on, surely a big hammer will do. within reason of course.

Once it's loose, replace the wheel and rotate it on the hub. This should break up any corrosion build up and make cleaning the lip the wheel locates onto with emery cloth/sand paper/wire brush etc a lot easier. A quick wipe over with a cloth to remove any loose bits etc (don't forget to wipe the inner lip of the wheel center as well) and a light smear of grease/copperslip should eliminate the risk of it happening again.

have you tryed hitting the wheel wile in the air spinning it and hitting the rubber from top to bottom, it should shake it lose, thats what i did to a cav with metal rims on, been stud for 4years and had grass growing round the wheels.

Loosen all the bolts (but don't fully remove)... crawl along and hammer the brake on 

large rubber mallet and weetabix for breakfast should be the solution

A large hide hammer works well, but just be careful
